From 5c5038dc26bdc609022a897e15f9ccdd28402ad9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "nikolay@redhat.com" Date: Sat, 7 Sep 2013 00:00:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] bonding: fix store_arp_validate race with mode change We need to protect store_arp_validate via rtnl because it can race with mode changing and we can end up having arp_validate set in a mode different from active-backup.
